This article is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical foundations of the integrative approach in modern education. The relevance of the topic is due to the necessity of finding new methodological guidelines amid the transformation of the educational paradigm. The aim of the study is to conceptualize the integrative approach as a methodological basis for the modernization of educational practices. The tasks include analyzing the evolution of integrative ideas in pedagogy, identifying the essential characteristics of the integrative approach, and justifying its heuristic potential. The research methodology is based on a combination of historical-genetic, comparative-analytical, and systems-structural analyses, which ensures the comprehensive and multifaceted examination of the problem. The empirical basis consists of data from international comparative studies on education quality (PISA, TIMSS), as well as the results of surveys of teachers (n=1250) and students (n=2480). As a result of the study, key prerequisites for the emergence of the integrative approach were identified, its fundamental principles (wholeness, systematicity, interdisciplinarity) were systematized, and the perspectives for its application in designing innovative educational models were justified (r=0.82; p<0.01). The results contribute to the development of the methodology of pedagogy, opening up opportunities for the creation of integrative learning technologies. Further research is advisable to be directed towards the operationalization of the integrative approach as applied to various levels of education.
Keywords:integrative approach, pedagogical methodology, interdisciplinarity, holism, systemicity, educational innovations.
